Stadium #6 Three Rivers

First trip to Pittsburgh took place in the "magical" summer of '98. The Dbacks were in town the night before and Three Rivers drew less than 9,000. With Slammin' Sammy Sosa and the Cubbies in town attendance rose to 30,000. Sosa used the stadium as a launching pad during BP. Then he launched #58 during the game. In light of all the HGH and 'roids talk since this story just doesn't have the same resonance. My apologies to Roger Maris for supporting this travesty.
